    <h3>Stay informed</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>Open the <code>&lt;View - Channel Info&gt;</code> to see your current
        stream title/game, a graph of your viewercount and how long your current
        stream already is going.</li>
        <li>Open the <code>&lt;Extra - Followers/Subscribers&gt;</code> dialog
        to view your 100 most recent Followers/Subscribers and some stats based
        on that.</li>
    </ul>
    
    <h3>Manage your stream</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>Open the <code>&lt;View - Channel Admin&gt;</code> dialog to change
        the title/game of your stream and run commercials:
        <ul>
            <li>Presets/History for title/game combinations</li>
            <li>Favorite games you play often</li>
            <li>Run commercials on a delay and/or timer</li>
            <li>Run commercials while playing a game via a global hotkey</li>
        </ul>
        </li>
    </ul>
    
    <h3>Capture chat for on-stream chat</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>Customize chat colors, for example change to black background to be
            able to make the background transparent in your streaming program.</li>
        <li>If you capture Chatty with your streaming program, make sure to
            enable the setting <code>Settings - Window - Always show chat scrollbar</code>, so you can always capture the same
            region, independant of how many messages are in the chat window.</li>
        <li>Change the font so it shows up nicely on stream.</li>
        <li>If you want to have all text in bold - not just the names - you can
            set the font by command like this: <code>/set font Arial Bold</code>.</li>
        <li>You can clear the chat window by using the <code>/clearchat</code>
            command (e.g. if you changed some settings before starting the stream
        you don't want to show).</li>
    </ul>
